Objective To evaluate the safety and efficacy of Holmium laser resection for primary non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (HoLRBt) compared with transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBt). Methods Data of 212 patients with primary non-muscle invasive bladder cancer were collected retrospectively. The patients were divided into HoLRBt group(n= 101) and TURBt group (n= 111). The patients in each group were stratified into 3 risk groups (low, intermediate and high risk) according to prognostic factors for recurrence based on EAU guideline. Then, the safety of HoLRBt and TURBt groups were compared, concerning the intraoperative complications and postoperative recovery. Efficacy indicated by recurrence-free survival of the 2 groups was analyzed and compared by Kaplan-Meier technique. Results Patients' demographics including age, gender, tumor characteristics, and recurrence risk of tumor between the 2 groups were comparable(P>0.05). No obturator nerve reflex occurred in the HoLRBt group. Meanwhile, 7 out of 111 patients in the TURBt group experienced this complication resulted bladder perforation in 3 patients. The proportion of patients needing postoperative bladder irrigation in the HoLRBt group was lower compared to the TURBt group (P<0.05). HoLRBt was associated with shorter postoperative catheter drainage period (P<0.05). The mean postoperative follow-up was 34 months (range 18 to 43). Recurrence-free survival after HoLRBt was similar with that of TURBt (P = 0. 283). Conclusions Compared with TURBt, HoLRBt is a feasible, safe and effective alternative for the management of primary non-muscle invasive bladder cancer with similar therapeutic efficacy and fewer perioperative complications.HoLRBt can be widely used in clinical practice in the treatment of primary non-muscle invasive bladder cancer.

The incidence of prostate cancer is increasing year by year in China. People with BRCA mutation are at high risk of prostate cancer. However, there is no clear and effective treatment for mHSPC with high metastatic load carrying BRCA mutation. In this study, we report a mHSPC patient with high metastatic burden and germline BRCA1 gene mutation who rapidly progressed to mCRPC after traditional CAB therapy and then received ADT combined with abiraterone and achieved significant PSA response, suggesting that ADT combined with abiraterone may be an effective therapy for mHSPC patients with BRCA1 germline mutation.

Objective:To analyze the diagnostic value of sex hormone combined with carcinoembryonic antigen on lymph node metastasis in breast cancer patients.Methods:52 cases of breast cancer patients who underwent surgical resection were collected and divided into non-metastasis group and metastases group after axillary lymph node ultrasonography. The blood samples was collected from patients and the levels of serum estradiol, testosterone, progesterone and carcinoembryonic antigen were detected; The diagnostic value of the above indexes in patients with lymph node metastasis was analyzed; Logistic risk regression model was used to analyze the independent risk factors for lymph node metastasis after surgical resection.Results:There were significant differences between the non-metastatic group and the metastatic group in the largest tumor diameter and menopause (all P<0.05), but there were no significant differences among other general data (all P>0.05). The serum estradiol level in the non-metastatic group was (153.97±35.55) pg/ml, the progesterone level was (0.33±0.05) ng/ml, and the carcinoembryonic antigen level was (11.44±3.77) ng/ml, while the estradiol level in the metastatic group was (207.19±52.11) pg/ml ( t=4.13, P<0.001), progesterone level (0.38±0.04) ng/ml ( t=4.01, P<0.001), carcinoembryonic antigen level (15.41±3.46) ng/ml ( t=3.94, P<0.001). The above three indicators were significantly increased in patients in the transfer group. The area under the curve of estradiol was 0.83, the area under the curve of progesterone was 0.80, the area under the curve of carcinoembryonic antigen was 0.77, the area under the curve of the combination of the three was 0.85, and the area under the curve of the combination of the three was the largest. Logistic risk regression model showed that estradiol, progesterone, and carcinoembryonic antigen levels were independent risk factors affecting lymph node metastasis in breast cancer patients (all P<0.05) . Conclusion:The sex hormone estradiol, progesterone combined with carcinoembryonic antigen has a high diagnostic value for lymph node metastasis in patients with breast cancer, and can independently predict the occurrence of lymph node metastasis in breast cancer patients.

Objective:To observe the feelings of listening to music and the importance of music in the daily life of post-lingual deaf adults with cochlear implants, and to explore the relevant influencing factors.Methods:This was a cross-sectional survey study. From January 2021 to August 2021,the Music-Related Quality of Life Scale was used to evaluate the music needs and music experiences of 63 post-lingual deaf adults who met the inclusion criteria, including 27 males and 36 females, aged (40.7±12.3) years, at the time of surgery (36.8±13.1) years, and with a preoperative hearing aid ineffective time of (3.9±5.8) years. Indicators analyzed included age, duration of ineffective preoperative hearing aid wear, preoperative music preference, duration of postoperative cochlear implant use, current hearing aid modality, and auditory rehabilitation outcomes. Whether the six factors mentioned above constituted an influence on the subjects′ music listening was investigated using SPSS 25.0 statistical software.Results:All of the observations in the scale were correlated with a single factor. The two sub-dimensions of music experience section were related to the effect of auditory rehabilitation. In the importance section, the effect of auditory rehabilitation was the influential factor of the dimension of "participation importance", and the preoperative enjoyment of music was the relevant influential factor of the dimension of "perceived importance". There was a significant difference between the groups when they were grouped by the above factors ( P value<0.05), while there was no statistically significance between the groups when they were grouped by other factors ( P value>0.05). Conclusions:Post-lingual deaf adults show the need and attempt to listen to music after cochlear implantation. The effectiveness of auditory rehabilitation and the degree of music preference preoperatively are two important factors that influence music listening in implant recipients. Once the level of auditory communication has been restored to a certain degree, it is important to pay more attention to the needs of music for implant recipients and train them in time, especially for those with music preferences preoperatively.

OBJECTIVE: To study the effects of processed Polygonum multiflorum containing serum on the proliferation and the expression of estrogen receptor (ER) of human breast cancer T-47D cells, and to investigate its phytoestrogen (PE)-like effect. METHODS: Sexually immature SD rats were randomly divided into estradiol valerate (Ev) group (positive control, 0.12 mg/kg), processed P. multiflorum low-dose and high-dose groups (0.75, 3 g/kg, by crude drug), low-dose and high-dose processed P. multiflorum+Ev groups (same dose as single drug group), with 10 rats in each group. Blank group was given constant volume of water intragastrically, and administration groups were given relevant medicine intragastrically; once day and night, for consecutive 4 days. Two hours after last administration, blank serum and containing serum were prepared. T-47D cells were also randomly divided into blank group, Ev group, low-dose and high-dose processed P. multiflorum groups, low-dose and high-dose processed P. multiflorum+Ev groups, and then were cultured in medium which contained 20% blank serum or drug containing serum. CCK-8 assay was used to detect proliferation rate (PR). Western blotting assay and RT-PCR were used to detect the protein and mRNA expression of ER-α and ER-β. RESULTS: Compared with blank group, PR of administration groups [each administration group (24 h), other administration groups (48, 72 h) except for high-dose processed P. multiflorum+Ev group] were increased significantly; high-dose processed P. multiflorum group (72 h) was significantly higher than Ev group, and low-dose processed P. multiflorum+Ev group (72 h) was significantly higher than the same-dose processed P. multiflorum group; high-dose processed P. multiflorum+Ev group (72 h) was significantly lower than the same-dose processed P. multiflorum group (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Relative protein expression of ER-α in Ev group, high-dose processed P. multiflorum group and low-dose processed P. multiflorum+Ev group, relative mRNA expression of ER-α and protein expression of ER-β in administration groups, relative mRNA expression of ER-β in Ev group, low-dose processed P. multiflorum group and processed P. multiflorum+Ev groups were all increased significantly. Relative protein and mRNA expression of ER-α in Ev group were significantly higher than processed P. multiflorum groups and combination groups. Relative protein and mRNA expression of ER-β in Ev group were significantly lower than low-dose processed P. multiflorum+Ev group, but relative mRNA expression of ER-β was significantly higher than processed P. multiflorum groups and high-dose processed P. multiflorum+Ev group. Relative protein and mRNA expression of ER-α and ER-β in low-dose processed P. multiflorum+Ev group as well as relative mRNA expression of ER-β in high-dose processed P. multiflorum+Ev group were significantly higher than the same-dose processed P. multiflorum group. Relative protein and mRNA expression of ER-α in high-dose processed P. multiflorum+Ev group were significantly lower than the same-dose processed P. multiflorum group (P<0.05 or P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS: The processed P. multiflorum containing serum can promote the proliferation of human breast cancer T-47D cells, and play the PE-like role through promoting protein and mRNA expression of ER-α and ER-β. However, the above effects are weaker than estrogen, and the combination of the two may antagonize the effect of estrogen.
